There was a dream that lived in ordinary things

Two cups beside the bed, your keys beside my keys

There was a smile I thought I'd somehow learned to keep

A hand I reach for when I sleep

There was a dream I almost lived in

Your voice through the wall, then gone again

The breath held in, before our first hello

The key in the door, coming home alone

All that we had, all that we lost

Everything that almost was

There was a cry I never quite let out

And the small, ordinary deaths of a week

Your side of the bed, still made

Your book still open at the page you left

There was a dream I almost lived in

Your voice through the wall, then gone again

The breath held in, before our last goodbye

The key in the door, coming home alone

All that we had, all that we lost

Everything that almost was

Some mornings it's just a Thursday like the rest

Some mornings it's the only day there is

All that we had, all that we lost

Everything that almost was

There was a dream, I almost lived in

Your voice through the wall, then gone again

The breath held in, before hello

The hand in my hand that I let go

All that we had, all that we lost

Everything that almost was

The door I don't hear opening

The name I don't say out loud

All that we had, all that we lost

Everything that almost was

(Everything that almost was)
